Announcing endorsements for May 1 election

The Central Labor Council of Nashville and Middle Tennessee would like to thank our affiliates IBEW 429, CWA 3808, ATU 1235, UAW 737, USW 9826, IATSE 46, Jobs with Justice, LiUNA 386, and OPEIU 277 for volunteering their time to screen and interview candidates and deliberate over endorsements. We had great discussions on the critical issues impacting our communities. The upcoming Metro Nashville County Primary and Transit Referendum election is May 1, 2018. Early Voting period is April 11-25.

Our goal as we engage in this process is to provide our members the information necessary to exercise their full rights and responsibilities as citizens and to take their rightful place in the political life of our local, state and national communities. We encourage all affiliate leaders to share this candidate list with all of their members and impress upon them the importance of their vote.

Finally, we thank all of the candidates for their willingness to serve our community. It is after careful deliberation that our central body would like to announce our endorsement and full support of the following candidates.
